Help picking Mitre Saw

[steveb1964]

Looking to get a Mitre Saw for some basic home DIY stuff like cut skirting board, flooring and coving.

Probably got £150 budget and I've seen a couple

Makita MLS100 250mm

ErBauer ERB238MSW 255mm Sliding Mitre Saw

http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-erb238msw-255mm-sliding-mitre-saw-230v/33776

Both seem to get good reviews and I'm leaning towards the Makita but not sure if I need to go for a sliding saw or not?

If I went for the Makita what's the maximum size skirting board that I could cut and also what width of laminate floor (is it 250mm for the flooring?)

Would I need to upgrade the blade as well to make sure I get a nice fine cut?

Thanks

Makita - Max. Cross Cut 130 x 75mm

Erbauer - Max. Cross Cut 300 x 81mm

Without wishing to be too pointed, it does tell you that if you bother to read...

Unlikely to need to change blades.

The sliding saw promises a lot but I doubt it will deliver for that price I have the makita simple clean and accurate.
